Look, Ma, No Cavities...

Guess who stopped flossing on a regular basis after not getting any positive feedback at the last visit for faithfully flossing for the six months between visits?

Guess who is now regretting that decision after her gums were hacked by the hygienist?

Ouch.

Today's lesson boys and girls: It really is important to floss!

(and use the ACT enamel building rinse and Listerine...sigh)

Note to anyone who works for a Dentist, is a Dentist, or knows someone to whom the prior categories apply - when someone has been doing something right, don't take it for granted, give that person some positive feedback, otherwise they might assume it isn't that important. Ahem.

  2. I flossed everyday and used flouride wash and I STILL had two little cavities. I literally almost burst into tears. I tried sooo hard!
